    No more yaw during RTH

    I checked. Could not see any settings to allow yaw control during RTH.

    No more yaw during RTH

    Where in settings were you?

    No more yaw during RTH

    I just saw details in the manual. Maybe the mini cannot either anymore. It looks like they disabled that ability in the 1.1 firmware.

    No more yaw during RTH

    The one thing I don’t like so far about upgrading to the DJI Mini 2 is that they’ve disabled the ability to control the yaw during RTH. I liked being able to let the drone fly itself back while I controlled the camera’s pitch and yaw. All you can control now during RTH is the altitude. Bummerz. ?

    Mavic Mini signal strength boosters?

    depends on the congestion and all but yescan now go 2 to 3 miles from mybackyardwest to the ocean and before the boosters I could only go about 1500 feet.

    Mavic Mini signal strength boosters?

    yes I was not impressed with my SR version compared to the cheapo parabolic reflectors either. Not much better. In a congested residential area at least. BUT,you now have SMA connectors and adding amplifiers makes a huge difference. That got me from 1500 foot range to 15,000 foot range.

    The Mavic Mini SDK was released today...

    ya I read the FAQ they aren’t sending the mission data to the drone. They can’t anyway with the mini

    The Mavic Mini SDK was released today...

    Since the sdk doesn’t allow waypoints I wonder if Dronelink missions will fail if the drone loses signal with the crontroller. I bought it to try it out. It only does waypoint missions from what I can tell.

    Mavic Mini signal strength boosters?

    not sure what you mean about a tripod or harness. I just held the controller and point the antenna at the mini. The XR version is huge compared to the SR. I have the USA version of the SR which is 5.8 only and contains the same size 5.8 antennas inside as the Non US XR does from what I’ve been...

    Mavic Mini signal strength boosters?

    Heres one of my longer flights. 12,000 feet over the ocean from my backyard.

    Mavic Mini signal strength boosters?

    I don't know about the Alientech but from what I have heard the 4 Hawks is better. I know that the USA version of the 4hawks SR (the one I have) has larger XR antennas in it since it doesn't need the 2.4ghz antennas. From my tests my 4Hawks unboosted was only slightly better than those cheap...

    Mavic Mini signal strength boosters?

    Yes out is a battery to power the boosters. Depending on wether you have the USA version or not, you will need either 2.4ghz or 5.8 boosters. I have the USA version so I have two Sunhans eSunRC 5.8GHz 2000mW 33dBm Wireless Signal Boosters: boosters...

    Mavic Mini signal strength boosters?

    As long as you can get the rx and tx antenna outputs front the controller to go through the boosters first and then from the boosters to the antenna inputs. The alientech has that special quick connect so you’d probably need to change that to standard SMA connectors. You also do need to boost...

    Mini photo quality

    Agreed. Crazy impressive just on their reliability alone
